About Camera Crew Spain
Camera Crew Spain provides comprehensive filming solutions for international productions shooting in Spain. Since 2008, we've specialized in combining Spanish local expertise with international production standards, serving global agencies, production companies, and corporate teams across commercial productions, corporate communications, social media content, sports and action videos, documentaries, and event coverage.

Markus Ruf
Founder & Head Producer
Get in touch! I'd be happy to help with your production needs.
I founded Camera Crew Spain in 2008 after learning this business from the ground up, starting as a camera assistant and sound assistant, then an officially registered 1st AD, working my way up to becoming a Producer for international productions. I studied the art mainly on set, which is why I understand every challenge a production can face.
My business educatiom - a BA in European Business Administration from Middlesex University and business management studies at the European School of Business in Germany - combined with extensive on-set experience provide the strategic foundation that allows me to create accurate budgets, manage international client relationships, and coordinate complex multi-location productions with financial precision.
I approach every production as a dedicated problem solver with comprehensive oversight responsibilities. My philosophy centers on building long-term client relationships based on trust and on working with my crew as one unified team, giving maximum respect to every individual member regardless of their role.
When challenges arise, and they always do in complex productions, I focus on finding solutions that meet everyone's objectives while keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
After 15+ years in this business, I've learned that exceptional productions come from combining technical expertise with genuine care for both the project and the people making it happen.

Our Clients' Reviews
What Our Clients Say About Camera Crew Spain
Delivering top-notch production services in Spain is our mission, but the true reward is when we meet and exceed our clients' expectations. Below are some testimonials from the companies we've had the pleasure to work with.
I’ve worked with Markus over a variety of video production projects over many years, including medical educational, live streaming and multicamera shoots. Whether it was Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia or Lisbon, his services have always been well organised and helpful, with great results every time.
Jon Birch
Head of Video and News, ecancer
I have been working with Markus and Camera Crew Spain for many years, and he is our go-to professional whenever we are in Spain. Markus is always dependable, providing top-notch crews equipped with the latest cameras and gear. No matter the shooting requirements, he consistently delivers exceptional results. While many crews possess the experience, equipment, and expertise, there are only a few I truly enjoy spending a week with – and Markus is undoubtedly one of them. Highly recommended!
Mike Wood
Director, Producer, and Filmmaker, inEvidence
Markus Ruf served as my local producer on a 90 minute, prime-time special about Barcelona which I directed for Canal Plus in France. This was not your run-of-the-mill documentary; it involved the hiring of actors, extras, props, special effects, costumes, and numerous long shooting days with multiple locations. Through it all Markus and his team at Camera Crew Spain handled it all with calm professionalism and a ‘can-do’ spirit. He supplied me with top researchers, camera operators, and sound engineers who could function in any language I needed – in my case English and French. I cannot recommend Makus and Camera Crew Spain highly enough. I make programs all over the world and know how difficult it is to find top quality production services on location. Markus Ruf is someone you can definitely trust to get the job done – and somehow he always does it with enthusiasm and a smile.
Peter Stuart
Director, Canal +, France

Jordan deBree
Director & Creative, Heist - San Francisco USA
I was lucky enough to work with Markus in a big production in Spain last month. His work ethic, professionalism and personality are truly incredible. In only one week, he was able to organize a crew with talented people and make everything happen in the smoothest way possible. I was told Markus had a special “aura” and this is absolutely true. It has been a privilege for me working with him and I really hope there will be other opportunities in the near future.
